I think he means the wireframe. View/Facestyle/Wireframe

The "K-nig-it" (sorry . . little monty python gag there ) is just an extruded profile. I am really not that clever. I might have even scammed this from someone else. I don't remember.

EDIT::: oops. My bad.

Well David as much as you play down how you did it, it is still a nice chess piece, cheers.

And... "I fart in your general direction. Silly English types"

Thanks Boo.

Nice model (would be interesting in which way it would change your play), great render. Twilight amazes me with every new picture I see.

boofredlay

I did this Wobble Chess set a while back. I think it likes Twilight

Gaieus

Very cool, Eric. Great job both modelling and rendering!

I can imagine it's a good set for shiops and aeroplanes as the figures can fall off harder.

michaliszissiou

Thats an excellent render
There's one mistake in this model though, you know what it is?

massimo

The board is inverted. H1 square has to be white.

michaliszissiou

It was obvious massimo. So e2-e4 ...

massimo

Sure it was...e7-e5

boofredlay

Oops.

michaliszissiou

OK this thread is not about chess, maybe a Ruy Lopez was coming (I play this better as black). KT f3
Boofredlay you should render these positions. Is twilight fast enough?

boofredlay

Ha ha. It may be but I am not

That is terrific. But Massimo is right. . .lower right H-1 should be white. but that is fussing. The design is awesome.

It reminds me of Man Ray's 1926 chess set in the MoMA.

...Nc6. Be careful, I'm an expert of the Marshall gambit (especially the Steiner variation) in the Ruy Lopez...

Ok, draw?

michaliszissiou

B b5... OK draw.

Hey, Eric. If you replace the board with a flat one, you could render an animation of a Chess opening with cmd's Mover.rb.

No, no, thats not funny, we need this particular board, its (as our friend oli uses to say) its sexy. We just need Boofredlay to render positions. "chess anyone" is the name of this thread. It will take a month but this is not a problem for experienced players like massimo and me. A ray traced chess game...
